Cairn India’s JV commences Gas Sales from the Rajasthan Block

25 Mar 2013 Evaluate

Cairn India’s joint venture (JV) with Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has commenced commercial sale of gas from the Rajasthan Block (RJ-ON-90/1). Initial commercial volumes will be about 5 million standard cubic feet (mmscf) per day.

The RJ-ON-90/1 block currently produces about 30 mmscf of gas per day from the Raageshwari Deep Gas field and as associated gas along with crude oil from the Mangala and Bhagyam fields. This production is currently being used to meet the energy requirements at the Mangala Processing Terminal and the 600 km crude oil pipeline primarily for the purpose of heating the waxy crude produced from the block.

Following government’s decision to allow exploration, Cairn-ONGC joint venture has commenced drilling of the first exploration well, after a gap of more than five years, in the prolific Barmer Basin. The continued exploration program in the block targets several other gas prospects that are expected to add to the production of natural gas from the block over the years. This will pave the way in future for developing the Rajasthan state as a gas-based economy.

The Cairn-ONGC joint venture has been working towards efficient usage of gas and achieving commercial gas sales of surplus gas as a precursor to realizing the full natural gas potential of the block.
